Photo sequence in albums?

Recently updated to ios 8 and been really like the new changes to the photo app....
I have all my photos organised into albums, but I USED TO be able to choose which photo in an album was the one displayed when looking at all the album thumbnails in the albums menu.
Now the thumbnail seems to focus on a random photo within the album as opposed to the one I drag to the top of the album.
I know it's by no means a huge/pressing issue, but I was just wondering if it's something everyone else is having a problem with or is it just me? Also wondering if anybody knows of a way around this? (I may have slight OCD when it comes to these kind of things! XD)
Thanks in advance for any responses/help!

In my Photo app the photos have no names but are arranged in the order they were taken. In other words in date and time orde. But in iPhoto the order has been messed up. Anyone find a solution to get the photos back in order?

  • Will Iphoto retain old photo sequence order in albums if I upgrade to newest IOS 5?

    I have delayed updating IOS because of previous postings suggesting problems with retaining photo sequence order after the upgrade. Present order does not follow time/date, but has been manually developed in Itunes. Albums will be of little use to me unless I can manually choose the sort order. Ipad 1; I touch.

    Only if something goes astray, which happens some times.
    - Backup the iTunes
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Make sure that all synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library and any photos synced to the iPod are also on your computer. Synced media is not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes
    Then update vai Tunes
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.

  • Photo Sequence in an Album

    Just imported into my iPhoto 6 library 1,300 photos from my daughter's wedding. I created an album titled "Mary's Wedding" and moved the 1,300 photos from the library into this album. Within "Mary's Wedding" album, I spent hours rearranging the sequence of the photos, and now it is just right. I want to send the photos via DVD to a couple of friends, and must burn the photos on to two DVDs, because they are too large for one DVD. Thus I created two new albums, "Mary 1" and Mary 2", and moved the first half of "Mary's Wedding" into "Mary 1", and the second half into "Mary 2". The problem is the photo sequence from "Mary's Wedding" (where I invested all my time) is lost in "Mary 1" and "Mary 2", and the photo sequence in these latter two albums reverted back to the sequence from the Library. How can I maintain the same sequence I created in "Mary's Wedding" as I transfer the photos from "Mary's Wedding" into "Mary 1" and "Mary 2"? Thank you - buster

    Thank you. I resolved the sequence issue by following your suggestion, Photo > Batch Change > and then went to Set Date > and I set the time on the first photo to 12:00 am and then adjusted the time sequence to 1 min between photos. This seems to work. Too bad Apple doesn't have a better approach for letting the sequence of photos in albums to remain the same, once established.

  • Using Iphoto 11 how do I change filename on photo so when it exports it does so in same sequence as Album created in.  Finder does not have option to keep as is... Thanks to anyone who can help me with this !

    The photos must be viewed in sequence as prepared with the filenames I have chosen to describe them.
    How can I just simply transfer this over to a dvd ?  Any help is appreciated !
    Thank You

    There are two ways to export photos so they remain in the same order as you put them in the iPhoto album:
    A:
    1 -  select the photos in the album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Rename  ➙ Title to Text menu with the option to add a sequential number to the file name.
    2 - Export out of iPhoto via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with the option File Name = Title.
    B:
    1 - select all of the photos in the album and export via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with the option File Name = Album name with number. 
    Both method will produce file with the following file name format:  xxxx-01.jpg, xxxx-02.jpg, etc., which will be in the order you had in iPhoto when view alphanumerically in the Finder.

  • Maintaining Photo Sequence from An Album To A Memory Stick (Flash Drive)

    In iPhoto '11, Mac OS x 10.6.7, I want to copy the precise photo sequence I have in an album to a memory stick, for input into a photo frame (so the photos will play in proper sequence in the photo frame slideshow mode). Problem is the photos exported from the album to the stick lose the sequence I arranged in the album. Within the album I did a batch change and separated the photos by 1 minute, which I thought would "cement" the sequence of the photos from the album to the stick.  Wrong.  The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album.  FYI, all these photos were originally hard photos and were scanned into iPhoto library and later put into an album - thus the sequence within the album was manually arranged because the original input scanning was random.  So, now that I have nicely sequenced photos within an album, how do I export and maintain the sequence from an album onto a stick?
    Thanks,
    H

    The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album. 
    When you modify the date of the Photos in iPhoto you change the Exif metadata of the shot. This is standard photo metadata and how every photo app tracks the date and time of the photograph.
    When you export to the Finder (as you do when you send them to the memory stick) it uses File metatada to sort. This is not the same as Exif and the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So this trick won't work for you. You need to use something that the Finder understands and will sort on
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Set your photos in the order you want
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • How to sort photos in an album by filename?

    I have imported 273 photos into an album in Photoshop Elements Organizer.  They originally came from 2 different digital cameras, so the date stamp on them is different.  All the photos were combined and sorted by filename before they were imported.  I want to keep them in this order for creating a DVD.  The Media Browser Arrangement indicates you can sort by date (oldest or newest) or Album.  I have searched the Help topics until my eyes are ready to pop out of my head and have spoken with support (for 45 minutes) until we got disconnected.  Help!!!

    This approach has worked in many versions of Photoshop Elements for making an Album based on file name within a single Windows folder - but I can't say for sure about version 8.
    Since you say they were combined and sorted by filename, I am guessing that you have all of those photos in a single Windows folder.
    So try switching to the Folder Location view of the thumbnails, navigate to that Windows folder within the PSE Organizer left side of the screen foldeer structure and verify that the photos are displaying in name sequence within that folder.
    Using the Folder Location view (where the photos are displaying in name sequence), select those photos and add them to a newly created PSE Album from their display under the Folder Location view.
    Another consideration -looking ahead to your actions
    You mention burning to a DVD - if this will be a slideshow burned to a standard definition video DVD for TV playback, I wonder what resolution those photos are? For example, were they from a 5 megapixel camera or a 12 megapixel camera ?
    The dilemma is that the resolution of your photo files could be too high for processing 273 photos to make the slide show. If you will be burning a standard definition video DVD from Premiere Elements, there is a recommendation to have the photo files used for the slide show be a resolution of approximately 1000x750 pixels (or equivalent adjustment if you will do widescreen).   In a way this is the opposite of printing where if the resolution is too low, the print quality will be poor. For slideshows written to video DVD, too high a resolution stresses the process of making the video and can either reduce quality of image in the final video or cause crashes.
    If you will be burning to a Bluray DVD or displaying on a computer monitor , then the resolution should be somewhat higher - but a 12 MP camera will still give too large a resolution.  The Process Muliple Files function in the PSE Editor or the File > Export new file in the Organizer provide methods to take your entire folder of photo files and create "downsized" resolution files that are written to a different folder so that your current files are untouched.

  • Photo sequence on the ipod touch

    Hello,
    I have a small problem with my new iPod touch. I will use him as electrical photo album, but unfortunately I can not determine under what criterion the iPod images sorted and where to set these criteria. ..
    If I upload pictures to the iPod the photo sequence on the iPod Touch is completely without patterns and agrees not coincide with the sequence of images in windows ... The photos are in windows properly named (001 to 250) ...
    The "shuffle" preferences, has nothing to do ... its off ... so what can i do???
    maybe someone knows where i can adjust according to what criteria the images are sorted, or maybe I need another program?
    Thank you
    Fabian

    Perhaps ypu could elaborate on your file naming convention. Is the 001 at the beginning or end of the file name?
    On my iPod touch syncing from WinXP I see the images in file name sequence.

  • Can I reorder photos in an album according to IMG number?

    I took several hundred photos on a trip, and for some reason the camera got the dates all mixed up, with some dated 2005, 2006 etc. When downloaded into iPhoto, they are arranged according to these dates, so are way out-of-order. The IMG numbers however are still sequential.
    Can I reorder the photos in the album according to the IMG numbers, in order to get them back into sequence? This method of sorting is not included in the View menu.

    eagledavid1
    Select all the photos you want to manipulate the go
    Photos -> Batch Change
    Set TITLE to FILENAME
    Then sort on Title in the View Menu.

  • Maintain photo sequence importing to LR2?

    A new LR2 user, I need to import 3000+  already edited bird photos from  Apple IPhoto albums, in which I had over several years painstakingly put the photos in each album in a sequence very different from date-based filenames. IPhoto allows me to export each album photo in my sequence to a folder on my computer, using a prefix and sequential numbers to replace the date-based filenames. When I import to LR2 from that folder by the "Add photos to catalog without moving" method in the LR2 import dialog box (and only that method) the photos DO come into the "current import"/ "previous import" section in LR2's Library/Catalog. But the moment I try to convert these photos, now sequenced properly for me in LR2, into an LR2 "Collection", LR 2 automatically converts all the photos back into a sequence by their original date-based filenames, a disaster for me. I cannot believe that LR2 does not contemplate the need for some photographers to import photos into LR2 in an already established non date-based sequence, and to keep them that way in LR2 Collections. I would greatly appreciate assistance on what I'm doing wrong and how to do it right to keep my original photo sequence.  Many thanks!

  • Rearranging photos within an album PSE13

    I need advice  on how to  re-sequence photos within an album. I'm using PSE 13.  Drag and drop doesn't work.  I also tried: right click on an album >edit album. This allows me to rearrange the photos in the right screen panel but the changes do not seem to be incorporated into the album itself after I check-off "OK".  Any help is appreciated.
    THX,
    Vinny

    Please select the album.
    Now Choose Album Order in Sort By options.
    You should be able to rearrange the photos in that album.
    Thanks,

  • Pics sequence in album?

    The old Photoshop.com server would maintain MY sequence of uploading MY pics.
    Most of my slide shows have a certain sequence...Title pic for the event...small group of pics
    for the same aircraft...I want to maintain that grouping, not scattered all over the entire album.
    This new Revel server is programmed some way that seems to just randomize the loading of the album.
    How come?
    Is there a way to determine my sequence that Revel will maintain?

    Pattie,
    Thnx. For ur reply. I often upload slide shows of airshows...it has title slides & on some really neat aircraft, I have a small sequence of pics about that aircraft.
    Having my photo sequence  'scrozzeled' by date/time stamp destroys the slide show.
    Your old site was not a problem...now the site programmers have over controlled the new site.
    The sequence I need is simply the order I upload them...I.e. don't MESS with the upload sequence!! 
    I should have a choice to pick from!!
    Is ur current method going to change in the near future?
    If not, I'll move my pics to another site.

    I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens.  I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

    Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my  Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.
